Prestige Booklet DY07 Football Heroes.
The “Prestige” Booklets were first issued on 1st December 1969. The very first issues were pre-decimal, entitled “Stamps for Cooks”, and were numbered ZP1 and ZP1a. Contents were 6 x 1d; 36 x 4d; and 18 x 5d – and of course we all know that this adds up to the retail price of £1.00!! Difference between the two? ZP1 had staples holding the sheets and interleaving together; ZP1a had stitching. The decimal examples started with “The Story of Wedgewood” numbered DX1 by Stanley Gibbons and issued on 24th May 1972 and this also retailed for £1.00. The first Premium Sponsored Booklet was DY01 issued for the 150th Anniversary of Morris and Company.
